It'd have to warm up to be able to snow here today. :p Stay off the roads if you can.

Good Luck down there. Not supposed to get any snow up here in MI but supposed to get cold as hell.

Stay inside Texas!! I'll bet that snow won't hang around very long if you guys get back to your average temps soon.

Windy & fridgid in the mitten.

Sheash! We are just getting the leading edge now - lots of rain mixed with a little ice so far. I'm hoping we don't repeat the winter of '07 ice storms but the news says we might....

Stay In and Stay Warm - thanks for sharing the pix. That stuff is to move into the northern Ozarks around midnight but only looking for 3-4" here thanfully. More expected in the southern areas.

Biggest snow storm I have ever been in was in Amarillo a few years back. If you don't like the weather where you are you don't ever have to leave TX to find the kind you are looking for!:banger

Few things prettier than freshly fallen snow :)

That's for sure...it's 70 here in Austin right now.

DrDubzz 01-28-2010 06:33 PM

Re: Snowstorm is here
 
I lived in Austin from 92-98, we had a few icy winters

this is my 4th winter in Amarillo and first good snowy winter since 06

but figure we're a lot farther north than 98% of Texas, and at 3900 feet elevation, so that helps too. One day I would love to return to central Texas though, we'll see what the job situation shakes out like in the coming months

true

on the other hand there is worse than an inch of ice (except maybe two inches)

Nothing but nasty rain up the road here in big D.:(

tuxpuff 01-29-2010 07:43 AM

Re: Snowstorm is here
 
So what was the total? It's pouring here in Austin right now.

DrDubzz 01-29-2010 08:32 AM

Re: Snowstorm is here
 
well, I don't know what the official snow fall was, but I've got at least a foot in the back yard

I'm headed out in a bit, a post pictures when I get back

They say we got 7" in Tulsa but I don't believe them. I'm thinking more like 4". It is melting off pretty fast right now. I think we might survive much to the surprise of the local news casters who were over hyping this storm a wee bit (as they often do).

That is a great pic of you smoking brother. I wish I could sit outside and smoke in the winter here, but it is just to darn cold - I am forced inside my garden shed with blankets and a heater.

We had our storm on the weekend, and got about 2 fet of snow. Its the first real blizzard of the year though, so we really cannot complain.
